Correct answer & explanation
✓
Power/interest grid
Stakeholder analysis involves identifying and classifying stakeholders based on their influence, interest, power, and impact. The power/interest grid (Option D) and influence/impact grid (Option E) are two commonly used techniques for this classification. Option A (mind mapping) is a brainstorming technique, not specific to stakeholder analysis. Option B (work breakdown structure) is for scope decomposition. Option C (requirements traceability matrix) is for tracking requirements, not stakeholders.
